The Ohio State men's basketball preseason power rankings resume today with fifth-year guard Sean McNeil at No. 7.
Hailing from northern Kentucky, McNeil is a product of Union Cooper High School where he graduated in 2017, finished second in career points scored and was among the top five in eight other categories. As a senior, he helped lead Cooper to a state runner-up finish while averaging 17 points and 6.3 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to attract significant Division I interest.
That led to a scholarship offer from West Virginia, where he spent the next three seasons playing for coach Bob Huggins and graduated with a bachelor's degree in sport management. McNeil averaged 10.1 points and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 36.8% from 3-point range, 86.1% from the free-throw line and 40.4% from the floor in 89 games.
“That was Deuce’s breakout game, Deuce McBride,” McNeil said. “Ohio State was a heck of a team. It was a physical game. It was a brawl. That’s something that I think will translate over well for me because obviously we play physical here at West Virginia.”
